Good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you. You can do this!

Thank you so much! My stomach hurts whenever I think about it :(

I started a mandatory 10 min meditation for myself as a practice of self love last week for the new moon. Phone off, no tv, no music, just silence & positive thoughts, visualizations, with my crystals. After a week, I can tell the difference in my stress level. I will continue this for 30 days as a personal challenge. #dailymeditation #meditation #meditationbenefits #selflove #focused #elevate #balance #findingmypeace #findingmygreatness #peace #detachment #namaste #detox #socialdetox

Thanks so much @becomingwhatideserve, @mal-le-able, and @findingmypeace. It’s been really helpful to me to hear that others, both here and IRL, also feel that this feedback was really shitty. Re: the style thing: it’s potentially valid in the context of code, because it’s possible to write code that’s technically functional but is really poorly organized, has the potential to hide bugs, and can’t be understood by anyone. In this sense it’s possible for one person’s style to be “worse” than another person’s, so it’s important to me that the style of my code is not worse than someone else of my tenure… but he still has to tell me what the style criticisms actually are if he’s going to imply that my style has obvious flaws??

I’m out of office until Friday and he’s out of office until the following Friday, which gives me lots of time to brood on what he could possibly have meant… but on second thought, maybe it’s a good thing. I’ve been wishing I could talk to my officemate’s TL about this, because he’s a) higher up in the TL hierarchy, b) ridiculously nice, and c) evidently can deal with my officemate who is even worse at coping with negative feedback than I am, so maybe the fact that my TL is out of office will give me an excuse to do so. If he does consider it to be feedback that I can extract anything useful from, I want to know what, and if he doesn’t, maybe he’ll communicate it to my TL and my TL will take it more seriously than he would from me. My TL has lectured me about my “core skills”, such as task management and response time, to no end, but giving reasonable and useful feedback is core skill of being a TL which he clearly lacks 😒.

I figured I'd send you some encouragement. You can get through this. I know it sucks but try to remember its not permanent. Thankfully. (Hope that doesn't sound dismissive) Some questions for distraction. Favorite color? Favorite food? Favorite movie? Talk about what you have in mind for a career. In an ideal world where would you want to go to grad school? Hope that provides some distraction. No worries if you don't have an answer to any of them. (I don't have a favorite movie, lol.)

thank you so much <3 <3

favorite color: teal/turquoise! 

favorite food: sushi or pizza

favorite movie: oh gosh... this is so hard. i love all the harry potters obvi. i love all lord of the rings. the goonies. ladybird. shutter island. les mis. bridesmaids. inception. the conjuring. so it depends on the genre i guess!

career: i want to be a child life specialist working at a children’s hospital. so essentially i would be working very closely with the kids and families and act as their liaison with the treatment team in order to communicate any psychosocial needs of the kiddos or families. i would work with the kids (both the patient and the siblings) to help prepare them psychologically for what their treatment/procedure/hospital stay will look like using developmentally appropriate terms and medical play. i would do some education for the whole family about the patient’s illness and how they can all best support him or her. sometimes child life specialists will give talks to patient’s schools in order to prepare them for returning to school after a long hospital stay (such as explaining to their classmates that you can’t “catch” cancer). other responsibilities for child life specialists include organizing hospital- or unit-wide events (such as fairs or festivals), assisting with grief support (helping kids with legacy projects if their parent dies in the hospital for example), and helping out at medical summer camps. some child life specialists work in a private practice setting to counsel kids and families facing medical challenges. i think i will probably want to start out working in a hospital, maybe on an oncology unit or med-surg, and then possibly eventually look into private practice.

grad school: boston university is definitely my top choice as they have the best child life program in the world. mills college is a second choice. i will also likely be applying to uw’s msw program as well as a couple more programs in boston.

thank you for the distraction!!
